Mario Kart 8 - My Top 3!

I was spoilt on Easter! Not only did I get loads of Chocolate (what else could a girl want???) SighFye also surprised me with a Wii U and Mario Kart 8!

I'd stumbled across a YouTube video and was quite impressed with the look of Mario Kart 8, probably because I had recently been playing Mario Kart 64 and well, you'd imagine a game released 8 years after the last one you were playing to look a lot better... But if you've been reading my posts you may know by now that I like shiny things and Mario Kart 8 is ever so shiny!

I love it! I can't get enough so I'm sharing...

My Top 3 Characters, Tracks and Karts

 

Including The Legend of Zelda - DLC pack 1

 

Characters: 

 

3. Shy Guy - I bought the 2 DLC packs and received all 8 coloured shy guys, this didn't influence my pick as my 3rd favourite, it's just a cool bonus! He's fun to play with and ever so cute when he jumps.

2. Tanooki Mario - Yup, all my choices are because they're cute. Ah... what a sucker I am... But.. but just look at him in his little Tanooki outfit. Plus when you toot the horn, it's the Tanooki Mario flying sound!

1. Yoshi - Yoshi is my favourite Nintendo character. I fell in love with him in Yoshi's Story, he's just too adorable! I'm so glad they gave him a voice and not just those computer noises he used to have. Since buying the DLC pack I have 8 colours to choose from! SighFye also bought me the Yoshi Amiibo so I can play as my Mii wearing a Yoshi suit. 

 

Tracks:

 

3. Mount Wario - This is a fast paced down the snow slopes race and instead of repeating the same lap 3 times it's a race to the bottom with check points. It's fun and challenging.

2. Mute City - The F-Zero track is the fastest track in Mario Kart 8 which makes it a lot of fun.

1. Hyrule Circuit - My number one track is Hyrule Circuit, I was excited for the Rupees, the Zelda treasure chest sound played when you obtain an item box and the fact you can open up a boost by hitting the anti-gravity switches raising the Master Sword.

 

Karts:

 

Choosing 3 karts is quite difficult considering how many there are. I also haven't unlocked all the karts yet so can only choose out of what I have. Here goes...

3. Teddy Buggy - It's cute and drives well, what more can I say?

2. Landship - It's a land ship, looks awesome if you ask me *hehe*

1. The Duke - Silly karts aside, we're getting serious now, The Duke kicks ass!

So there you have it, my top 3 characters, tracks and karts in Mario Kart 8. What are your top 3? Let us know in the comments below.

Race on!

Hot Weather = Game Day

So it's still only Sunday morning and we've had quite the gaming weekend already! Yesterday was 37 degrees Celsius so we spent the day indoors playin' games. It was Toasty!

While the kiddies played on their DS', we played a little of everything. We got out the old school Super Nintendo and relaxed in the aircon! We played:

Mortal Kombat 3

SighFye Kicked my butt!

Super Mario World

I <3 Yoshi! =^_^=

 

Super Mario Kart

I kept running off the road like a noob! lol!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

When games weren't skill based, but spam based. :P

I also played my Draenei Hunter in World of Warcraft on Friday night and picked up a helm in one of the Pandarian dungeons as I'm still leveling her.

Check me out and my bad self lol

I did the boring task of sorting out my bags a little, blergh! I also figured I'd take a screeny of my HUD

That damn wolf took me 2 weeks of flying around the area it spawns.

Skoll is an exotic rare, he has 3 potential spawn points in Storm Peaks:

And he spawns every 16 hours...

So basically I spent every night just sat flying around the area on my mount... or was it running? I don't know, I just remember it was crap, I was obviously committed! 

One night, I was sat waiting for it just chatting in Guild, I got tired so headed to bed early but then couldn't sleep. So I got back up and decided to jump back on WoW. Another Hunter in the Guild asked me where I'd gone so I explained, she said she saw Skoll, the wolf I had been wanting, searching for hooooouuurs.... for daaaays! I asked her where it was and whether it was still there... Her reply: "I killed it" :|

This captures my reaction perfectly

I understand that people who are not hunters in WoW kill exotic rares, but seriously, omg when you are a hunter you understand the pain of finding these rares.

Even though I wasn't online she should have called out in General chat for any hunters or at least left it alone. Bah!

We also managed to get in a few games of Black Ops, although I raged at some points due to internet lag. I was on the phone to m y net provider the other day and the internet was behaving so I just looked like an idiot, I need to actually call when I'm getting 500 ping! :( We are looking to move to an area that should have NBN available in about 6 months or so... excitement!

Anywho... What are you playing this weekend?
